We are going to be staying at the Art of Animation Fiding Nemo family suite. I am sooo excited. We will be there the day after it opens. My travel agent told me it opens to the public 5/30/12 and we will be there the 31st.

All rooms at Art of Animation will be themed to the wing/movie that they’re in. But not all rooms will be the same, some regular hotel rooms, many family suites – which do cost more for the extra space.
